Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

#BiodiversityDay offers us a chance to highlight the amazing diversity of species with which we share this planet. Today, we would like to showcase the fantastic Salmonid Management Round the Channel (SAMARCH) Interreg-funded, EU project:https://t.co/l4aEVogUGa
#ForNature

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

Humanity cannot survive without nature. Yet, we are treating the 🌍 like if we weren't aware of this.

At the rate things are going, biodiversity faces an imminent collapse.

Join us in saying loud & clear: WE NEED TO RECONCILE WITH NATURE TO BETTER PROTECT IT!

It’s hard to believe that these goliaths🐘are afraid of🐝- but this fear may help save their lives.

To celebrate #WorldBeeDay take a look at how we support #SouthAfrica’s @elephantsalive & @blackmambasapu to use this vulnerability in elephant’s favour: https://t.co/JvEmrHXH9g🐝

Once thought to be on the brink of extinction, the global population of the Critically Endangered saiga antelope is now more than eight times larger than it was in 2015, numbering over 860,000 individuals thanks to extensive conservation efforts.

[Sahar Bakr, PhD @BakrKaissy]

Paying PhDs £10k a year and expect them to work, do research, get papers out, teach, ‘engage’, and finish in 3y is simply everything that’s wrong with academia.
PhD candidates are skilled individuals, pay them fairly for their time and skills.
